Care to elaborate?
Hispanic mothers, usually call their children, "amor, amorcito, mi amor" (this is also used to address your love or significant other) , cariño, querido, querida, is usually used to address, someone dear but not so close or related.
of course there are frequently exceptions, this is a rough rule so to say and may differ from region to region,

Is this confirmed?
A while ago I saw Nyx say that Gaby was 28, but I'm not on that discord anymore and I don't know if she also confirmed it.
in-game iirc exact age is not confirmed, stated to be late 20s-early 30s, can't say what was discussed on discord

I never saw any issue with Emily having lunch assuming what she told the MC is the truth and she did not cheat. However I do get why Andres would have an issue with it and yeah she probably should of respected Andres feelings since it's clear she wanted to meet him for her sake not the MC's. But Emily going along with hiding the truth and sending the MC away because he was acting up and she didn't know how to handle him. Well that is a different story for me , as she went along with Andres's ultimatum and to me feels like she didn't try hard enough if her only solution was to send the MC away.

I still think Andres is a bit worst than Emily with or without cheating. Simply because it was his idea to come up with that ultimatum for Emily to never tell the MC the truth. Both are at fault yes since Emily did agree but the fact it was his idea makes him worst to begin with to me despite the negatives for Emily's character. So some see the cheating Andreas did because of patron or they think it's very forced for one reason or another. Me on the other hand it does not surprise me one bit and feels like something he would do if he wants / willing to keep the truth from the MC. Yeah , yeah I get he hates the father and doesn't want him in the MC's life but still not his decision to make. To me that shows he doesn't really care all that much about others feeling only his own. He should of simply walked away if it was such a big deal but he wanted his cake and eat it too.

At least that's how I see things personally I may be off base a bit with my personal opinion but just how I see things. I'm probably forgetting some details but from what I do recall I dislike Andres more than Emily.
Hoisting someone else's child on someone who is madly deeply in love with you is far worse than "I'll agree on the condition that I will be the child's father". Cheating would also be fully out of character for a person who in spite of being cheated on (I don't recall exactly if this was framed as clear cheating or ambiguous cheating), decides to raise a child as his own.

I'll ignore the later re-framing for this as it might just be nonsensical in the story, because Nyx wanted to prevent backlash from Patreon. I'm still not convinced that's the case, I lean more in the "I needed to make him the bad guy, I didn't realise Emily looked like the asshole in the relationship."

You have someone who is so deeply in love with someone they are willing to raise someone else's child just so they can be with her. In love with someone who either cheated or who was not being forthcoming in juggling two (?) relationships.

This person not only raises the child as his own, but even after breaking up with the mom. Takes in the child with his new fiancée to keep raising him. Again a child that is not his, for a spoilt marriage.

Non of that goes with a person who cheats, let alone is a serial cheater. Someone who decides to cheat on his new fiancée, just before they are going to get married.

It reads entirely as trying to re-frame a moral character as an abhorrent cheater who abandoned the mother of his not-son, someone who would then take in his not-son so he could punch him in the face for discovering his cheating.

The problem isn't that it's impossible for Andres to go from moral to an immoral cheat. There was however no work done to get him from a to z. This wouldn't happen overnight, and it wouldn't happen without Emily also massively mocking up the relationship with Andres.

Andres should have never made Emily agree to a promise like that and Emily should have never sent MC to Andres. Also i like to throw in Eryn drama. They may have not been making fun of MC but she sure should have been talking to MC instead of walking off and watching a stupid video and laughing during a confession by the MC to Eyrn and after the fact when he stormed off the first time Eyrn still sitting there yapping to Ethan instead of making sure MC wasn't upset. Also if she was sooo close to MC and ethan always picked on MC why the crap would she even be friends with Ethan to begin with? None of the Eyrn stuff makes sense to me. Also the Blackmail doesn't make sense she was what 17-18 years old having sex with her BF? WHOAA Big deal so what? Thats not really blackmail material there if you ask me.
I think this is a good addition and probably stems from the same root. Could be just in-group bias, but it's also possibly "benevolent-sexism". The kind where a woman is only responsible for everything good that happens to her, but none of the bad things that happen to her.

It suffers from the same re-framing issue, where after learning the full facts, the character ends up looking worse than they did before. Granted in this case she does try to talk to the MC, who does not want to see her. Repeatedly if I recall correctly.

So less egregious than the Emily-Andres story. Re-framing wise.

But as you said, letting someone actually bully someone who you supposedly consider to be a close friend is incredibly fucked up and doesn't jive well with later being head-over-heels for him.

I do think the blackmail material would work if this story is taking place in the naughties (2000-2010). In this day and age of models being on LonelyFans it doesn't work well. It would also be seen as a type of revenge/leaked porn, even with good lawyers the leaker is not going to end up looking well. But ignoring the courts, she would likely get a massive popularity boost from said leak.

In Spain you hear it much more than amor, for example.
Exactly what I meant, even close nit Girlfriends use that, to adress each other, it is much more comon than over here in the new world,
best example: your user name the South cone version would be: sin_encendedor

I know that each country has its own expressions, just as I imagine that it is not the same in Mexico, Cuba or Argentina, because each one evolves the language in a different way.
But I found it curious that by calling her cariño is because she is her stepmother or aunt (or whatever) and not her mother (if she is 28 years old it is clear that she is not). Mainly because I really don't know where Nyx is from, nor how influenced she is by European Spanish.
She settled in Spain afaik, anyway I admire her creativity, and how she keeps eager to know what happens next

I love the repercussions you get in this game. I wish more games properly took you through the bad side of your choices - I think the main thing I've enjoyed as something a little more unique here has been how a choice affects several people, not just one. In my first (blind) playthrough, one of my favourite moments was when I had Nikki visit, and then Alexis turned up at the front door... with Layla. And just the way it was done as well, was excellent. I'm getting through the last of my expected saves now, skipping through until I reach new content, and the variation is great, with each save being a good one rather than the usual, where I'll have one or two favourites and the rest are just to see the different content.

oof yeah, going in blind into this one was an eye-opening experience for sure, had the same exact thing happen to me :ROFLMAO: That was the point where I started the whole thing over and made a dozen+ saves, and that's still not covering every possible scenario

ive only played all the main paths at least once but I plan to make a crazy amount of saves for the future with all the combinations you can by mix and matching some of the girls just to see future content / drama or break ups with them if you play your cards right. I forget the number but I think I plan for something around 20-25 saves at least

Edit : I still never seen the scene where Alexis and Layla show up to the door haha my first time I got a different Alexis scene.

Those things are great, and not only the big "got caught" moments.

Things like Erynn keeping things distant(at least so far) with you if Alexis is an active relationship.
The fact that Val will also keep her distance if Layla is active, but doesn't give the same treatment to Alexis(straight up pressures you for a break up).

These are all things that make it worthwhile go through this game multiple times and explore the possible outcomes.

I didn't start over, but I will reject that save in favour of a dedicated one. I had already called the save Nikki, which was amusing to me, as I ended up getting shunned by everyone else in the end :LOL:

I don't like to make saves for every little possibility, so I think just seven or eight girls for me, but I'm not clear on who will have a proper path available, from some of the less obvious ones (e.g., Elena and Valeria). And for that scene at the door, I may have been a bit untruthful at the athletics camp when having the discussion with Layla. But she's just too cute, so I didn't want to turn her away...

I wonder how that is going to play out in the future because at times it does almost feel like you are off Erynn's path if you are on Alexis's path and other times it doesn't

tbh im not sure how many of those 20+ saves I will do some I will some I wont but not gonna do it anytime soon gonna take my time making them that is for sure after all isn't like this game has 1 update left or anything so I got time to do it slowly.

Yeah I friendzoned Layla around the 1/2 way point of my first playthrough as I changed my mind who I liked. Not sure what paths you have played or not so far. So i'll put it in a spoiler. But regarding Elena I think she will get a proper path soon. Since you have to make Layla cry and break up with her to get on her path and then looks like you have to make things right with Layla before Elena will consider a relationship. Not sure about Val im sure she will since she is Nyx's favorite.
